Conservatives think that lefties are paid to protest because they know all their protests are funded by dark money billionaires and don’t think anyone else would ever do it unless they were paid.

Can we please stop asking "what if political actors start using genAI for nefarious propaganda?" because the current administration can barely see past their own 24/7 erection to type in their next AI prompt of "Trump feeds babies wearing Democrat sash into wood chipper blood sprays on feminists."

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

Weird how time works isn’t it? In some US states a pregnant 11 year-old isn’t allowed an abortion because they need to deal with the “adult” consequences of getting pregnant, but 35 year-old neo-Nazis in the govt group chat are “boys” doing “things young boys do”

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

This is 100% connected to the platform continuing to allow popular creators that spew misogyny and bigotry to stream. They have created entire communities of antisocial men who believe women are inferior and pieces of property, naturally they’d behave like this when meeting a famous streamer .

Hugely disappointing and scary to see Emiru was assaulted by a “fan” at TwitchCon, especially when you remember she was one of three streamers who was stalked and threatened during an IRL stream earlier in the year.

Twitch cannot survive without its talent, and yet it doesn’t protect its talent.

The mass gaslighting that is being inflicted upon the people of this country by politicians and journalists who are seemingly more worried about a foreign state, than the concern of their own citizens, should worry us all greatly.

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

The British state has been captured completely by Israeli interests. As we speak they are looking to reverse a police order banning violent Israeli football fans from a match. While other European countries are pretending they were always against the genocide, the Uk is doubling down. I'm so ashamed

Having slept on it, I think the even more shocking part of it is that Starmer is so desperate to unleash racist violence onto the British people that he's sided *against* the police for what must be the second or third time in his career (the other times were also in aid of racism)
